Game series time lines

There seems to be a lot of disreguards to Story Continiuty in video games. So I got thinking about doing my own time line of a few series just I dunno I guess because I'm bored.

Mega man

Mega man 1-3 (Gameboy 1 and 2), 4 and 5 (GameBoy 4) 6 (gameboy 5) 7, 8, Mega man and Bass, Power Battles, Power fighters, Mega man X 1 and 2, (Xtreme 1 and 2) X3, X7, Command mission, X8, X5 X6 Zero 1-4, ZX, ZX Advent, Legends 1 and 2

seems about right eh? By putting X7 and X8 before X5 and 6 the Zero ending makes sense NOW X8's ending doesn't make too much sense because Sigma was dead for good supposidly..but then again Luminie was beyond insane.

Ninja Gaiden and DOA

This is a real challenge did the NES game happen at all? Well we can attempt...

I think it goes XBOX Ninja Gaiden, DOA 1-4 Ninja Gaiden 2 360, NG 1, NG 2, NG III.

Though some feel NG 2 is after III but the sword in III is clearly not the dragon sword as it functions differently and if Irene isn't in NG XBOX, DOA or NG 2 360 but exists then she must not have met ryu yet. Also Ryu's father is still alive in NG 360 at least as of Chapter 7

hmm what other series

OK how about Street Fighter? Street Fighter is tricky becuase there's actual cannon and fan Cannon There are fans of SF that think they know the Story better than Capcom does. Ignoring a few upgrades to SF II. Here's what I think it goes

SF 1, SF Alpha 1-3, SF 2, SSF2X, SF EX 1-3 SF IV, SVC Chaos, SF III, SFIII 2I, 3rd strike

Capcom VS SNK I would say would be akin to the KOF Dreammatches, But SVC Chaos fitting in with SF Lore does actually make some sense and there may be plot points and characters in SF IV's home version that could put alpha 3 after SF IV

So that it's for this time.

What other series should I attempt continuity with?

This is an interesting write up, but it could use some heavy proofreading.

My understanding of this is that it has a lot to do with Japanese culture, and their preference to retell a great story than write the sequel. Mega Man is fairly linear, but lets face it; trying to put the Zelda series in some chronological order is a task in futility when asking everyone to agree upon one order. That's largely due to the fact that while every Zelda has similar concepts and themes, and may even place themselves in to some particular time period (e.g. The Wind Waker taking place in Hyrule's future), they aren't meant to be linearly connected. They are simply retellings of the same story.

And as far as DOA goes, the designer of the Xbox series never even played the NES games. He said he specifically avoided playing them, so he has next to no clue what went on in them.
